Here's a great new Christmas Carol from Kenny Rogers's album "The Gift."
It's done to a sort of Reggae-Calypso beat. Not a traditional song, but it's "folky."Genie
Pretty Little Baby Child
(John Barlow, Bill Rice & Sharon Rice © 1995)
See the little baby lyin' in a manger,
Starin' at the strangers who've come so many miles.
They were told to follow the star up in the heavens
And it brought them to the stable of the little baby child.Could this be the kingdom of the high and mighty?
Is this the Ruler born here tonight?
The light of the promise shines in his eyes.
Should we lay our treasure here by his cradle?
Tell me, are you the savior, pretty little baby child?Sometimes the greatest of miracles comes from the smallest of things.
We knew as we knelt there beside him, we were lookin' in the eyes of a king
And that his tiny little fingers could bring us together
Forever and ever, pretty little baby child.
Wonder of wonders there in the darkness!
The light of The Promise, how it shines in his eyes!
Angels were singin' the Hallelujah chorus
For the savior before us,
Pretty little baby child.
